PORK BELLY BACON BOURBON BAKED BEANS
The title can be a mouth full but the result was better then expected. Try saying it 3 times fast lol.
The local bacon and the pork belly really gave the dish the balance. Rather then just beans in a sauce. The bourbon flavour was subtle and everything worked together. This recipe definitely entered the clean plate club. Enjoy!
FLANK STEAK
Picked up this beautiful flank steak at our local butchers Brokenhead sausage located in Beausejour. Honestly this was our first attempt at this cut and it turned out tender and cooked to perfection.
pignolata
Pignolata, a southern Italian (Calabrese) desert. Usually made around the holidays. We have fond memories of Nonna making these delicious fried dough balls smothered in honey. Such a treat at Christmas to have. The smells were enchanting in her kitchen. We have recently added this old world recipe to our traditional line of baking and it has now become a staple in our household. We hope you enjoy as much as we have.
Man o’war cocktail
A great holiday cocktail. After starring at the liquor cabinet wondering what to make with the odd assortment of booze this one came to mind. A nice touch on a cold winters day. Cheers!
cast iron deep dish pizza
We cannot take credit for the creation of this recipe. However we can say its absolutely delicious. We can also say that we used as much local ingredients as possible including our own J & A Farms grown dried Basil and parsley. Our own homemade tomato sauce with our own grown tomatoes mixed with the canned marzano tomatoes. The cornmeal, kosher salt and other ingredients purchased at the locally owned store in town. Give it a try and help support local. Enjoy!
deconstructed egg salad sandwhich
Sometimes inspiration can come from anywhere. In this instant I was looking at the end of the bread we baked and thought what to do with it. Dry it for bread crumbs? Cube it for croutons? or as it came to be slice it up to make small pieces perfect for dipping. Mix our fresh farm egg salad and voila! the Deconstructed egg salad sandwich was born.
PICKLED RED ONION FOCACCIA
Always trying to find ways to incorporate our farm made products into everyday cooking. Striving for the unique or the “oh ya” moments or the “why didn’t I think of that before” . So hopefully we have more of those moments as inspiration can come from anywhere. Hope you enjoy this Focaccia as much as we did. Buon appetito!
simple sausage & beer
Simple and quick was the inspiration to this meal. Local fresh sausages and local beer. Its a win win.
